RedBall is a public artwork that’s been travelling the world for more than 20 years – and for seven days only in May, it’s taking a tour around seven locations around Bradford, from Haworth to Saltaire.
RedBall is just that – a massive red ball, 15 feet high and wide. Created by American artist Kurt Perschke, this iconic art project has brought joy and wonder to Barcelona, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Paris, Sydney and cities worldwide since it first popped up in St Louis back in 2001. And we’re delighted to roll out the red carpet for it here in Bradford.
You’ll need to be quick! RedBall will be in each location for one day only from 10am – 5pm every day. Catch it while you can…
